The Ocean Pioneer Commander is a character from Danger At Ocean Deep. He was the Commander of the ocean going tanker ship Ocean Pioneer I, that exploded in the Mediterranean sea under then-unexplained circumstances. The ship was captained by Johnson and 2nd Officer Collins.
All were presumably killed, but it is possible that the Captain somehow survived as a man in navel uniform was sported at The launching of Ocean Pioneer ll bearing his likeness.
Trivia[]
- Although the Commander presumably died when his ship blew up, his puppet makes a cameo appearance later in the same episode, at the launching of Ocean Pioneer II. It also appeared as a hotel guest in The Cham-Cham. Interestingly, Collins and Johnson were both at the hotel as well. In Thunderbird 6, it played a diner.
Quotes[]
- "Well, that's if my line don't catch you up, Johnson. My company want to cut the overhead by getting at least eight tankers just like Ocean Pioneer into service as soon as possible."
- "Seems to be quite a large amount of mist ahead."
